Hello children of the revolution....
we got a phone call a few hours ago from the tour manager of the cobras... he said that they are sick of us and dont want us to continue the tour.... the reason? we missed one show in birmingham cuz our tire popped and it took too long to get it fixed for the show. and then we cancelled one show in florida tonight because our vocal chords are blown out and we needed a day of rest... were the cobras reprimanded for cancelling all sorts of canadian dates and fucking US over? no... these money-grubbing fuckers just dont want the east coast to see us... it's not our fault that we blew away these back-stabbers every night.... what a waste. we have decided to keep the battle going and will book our own shows up the east coast cuz i have to go home to my kids with some dough that was stolen out of my hands by adult babies with broken egos... so all in all please boycott these criminals (who asked us to come on this fuckin tour) and stay tuned in the next few days for an update of our NEW shows....fuck rock star fuckbags.... DEATH CULT UNITE..... beware the soulless vermin....
lots of love and fun

the mario/ donkey kong game is pretty good, my roommate picked it up and i had a blast playing it. still working on both mario kart and new super mario brothers though. animal crossing killed most of my game time over the summer so i'm trying to make up for it now with the games i picked up and ignored

The Cobras have not been enamouring themselves to Canadians. Check the Edmonton press for a couple of shows that the Cobras were flown to last year. Appears they were more interested in scoring dope and arguing onstage than playing shows.

That said, with a 4th rate James Brown and 3rd rate Bob Log III opening, it's probably not much of a loss for the Cobras.

Holy pull the dick out of your ears and don't be such a retard. Mr. Supernatural is on of the best soul/funk albums to come out in recent memory. JB would be proud. And aside from being one man bands Bob Log and BBQ have about as much in common as ketchup and mustard.

How does it feel to have a trio of 16-year-olds kick your ass? It‚??s not even clear if Detroit Cobras singer Rachel Nagy fully understood that they were shamed by their opening acts, even after underage Subatomics singer Rene Wilson was up again dry-humping the headliners‚?? guitarist Mary Ramirez from behind. If you‚??re gouging people 25 bucks to see a set of entirely ‚??50s rock and Motown cover songs ‚?? i.e., reruns ‚?? you might want to not do the following: stop songs obsessively to have ‚??band meetings‚?Ě to chew out your replacement drummer and bassist; wear mom jeans and a sweatshirt, and suck on your drink all night; roll your eyes like a little debutante and yell, ‚??What the fuck is going on here?‚?Ě as your sulky energy drains the last couple dozen fans you have left in the city; blame a top-level sound guy like John Rubuliak for your woes then pretend to be sick after the gig while waiting for the heavy drugs you ordered. Shredded by Nagy‚??s claws, the drummer sounded like he was building a doghouse. ‚??This is even worse than the last show!‚?Ě wasn‚??t some subtle observation ‚?? it was yelled in their faces as the crowd tried to stay loyal. Nagy is very pretty, her voice exceptional. But to come on and play only 45 minutes two nights after an abysmal street vibe without having learned a lesson is, literally, a fucking rip-off. I‚??ve seen bands rock under laryngitis or parents dead the night before. So what‚??s up, Ms. Nagy? How is it that so many of us are pissed now when we hear your name? We walked in with crushes. I mean, a restaurant was dissing you on its sidewalk board the next morning: ‚??Just another cover band, no Cobras in here.‚?Ě

Well, I think KK&BBQ are much better than The Detroit Cobras. There last album, Baby, wasn't that great. Howver, KK&BBQ put out a great debut in 2006, great followup, and Sultan's Mind Controls kick serious.

Hell yes I am. Luckily KK&BBQ played a show in Oakland the night before they played with the Detroit Cobras. I love the Detroit Cobra but after having seen them pull their rock star shit three times I had vowed never to go see them again. This even meant that I missed the Dirtbombs one time. This news just makes me happy.

Something tells me there is WAY more to this story than a popped tire and some sore vocal chords. King Khan and BBQ are notorious lunatics that always pull all sorts of negatively weird shit at gigs and interviews and the like, and have done so for years. The Detroit Cobras, an incredibly enigmatic rock n roll band with a brilliantly talented singer, should have done their research a little more. Never trust a Canadian band.

right on King Khan! the tales of the Cobras are legendary, this really isn't surprising, it's just nice to someone say what they really think of them...
i like the Cobra's music and I like King Khan- Mark Sultan rules harder than those junkies.

I saw King Khan and BBQ when they played in Portland a month or so back. They fucking blew The Detroit Cobras outta the water, this is the way rock was meant to be fucking played! "Whats for Dinner" hasn't left my turntable since. Detroit Cobras just flowed through a mediocre set, as if "business as usual." It was a buzzkill to watch them after Khan and BBQ, I feel fortounate to have gone to the show to discover them! Come back to Portland!!
